We had a great stop here while in the area on a day trip. It's a cute little shop, not huge inside but has a nice charm. This is their store, but they make all their product right across the street. You can also pay for a tour over there as well! Ice cream: 5/5 The ice cream was delicious. They have several flavors that look like they get rotated out. Price: 5/5 The price was extremely reasonable. $4 for a scoop and the scoop was large! Customer Service: 5/5 We had amazing customer service here. The gentleman working was extremely personable. He brought out a platter of samples for us to try of different cheeses and butter and he taught the kids some Spanish in the process! He made the whole experience much more fun! If you are in the area, this is a great place to grab some ice cream or a coffee and enjoy the beautiful neighborhood around here. read more

What a fun stop on our way home from Bodega Bay. The Creamery, which is a fully working industrial creamery, was closed but the Cheese & Ice Cream shop was open. They offer sandwiches, like their $5 Grilled Cheese, and have a decent amount of deli stuff to go with your sandwich. You can also taste a wide assortment of cheeses that are made on site. Their ice creams, also made on site, are rich and creamy. Delicious after lunch or on a hot day. The guy behind the counter was exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable and service was exceptional. I recommend stopping by if you're in the area or passing through. read more

Such good ice cream! We tried the salted caramel and chocolate with chocolate syrup. Excellent. The one guy at the shop was super friendly and obviously very proud of his work. The cheese samples were especially good, asiago, Colby Jack, and white cheddar. Cute dairy farm store atmosphere. read more

Had a great opportunity to stop at the Petaluma Creamery on our way home from a Bodega Bay trip. We sampled the amazing cheeses that created fully complex range of taste and texture. At the deli our group sampled the cheese burgers and pastrami sandwiches. The cheese from the creamery makes the burgers standout and at a very reasonable price point. Thank you Petaluma Creamery for a great experience. read more

Great place! Love the friendly and fast service. We didn't try their ice cream but were amazed how good the biscuits were: slightly sweet, buttery, flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. Highly recommend. read more

McKayla was so nice and offered some suggestions on what cheeses we would like (the spicy jack on sourdough was a great combination for grilled cheese). We were able to get a tour and Kevin was so knowledgeable! You can taste the difference in quality and approach at this local creamery. Such a cool experience to see how the butter is made and to know all the cows are pasture raised. read more

It looked promising, but to say we were underwhelmed by our experience here is an understatement. The spot is pretty cute & bbq smoke wafts as you approach. Inside, it's not very big, but it looked clean. There are cheeses to purchase, a small section of merchandise & knickknacks, an ice cream counter, a sandwich counter, & tables & chairs. There was just one man there who was tending to things outside & doing tasks inside who NEVER acknowledged us in any manner AT ALL. He just carried on. The ice cream counter had a sign that said no individual scoops available, just pre-packaged containers. Definitely no sign of any cheese tasting opportunity happening. We were seriously the only people there & we lingered to look at things for a bit, so there was opportunity to even just look at us. Maybe the food items you can get here are great, but we were just so unimpressed by our experience of being treated as if we were invisible. read more

Good ice cream! The cheeses I've tried were fine but not great. Have not tried the sandwiches or coffees here. Usually staffed by high school age kids, so don't expect incredible service. The building is old but in mostly good repair. There is usually plenty of street parking, but they do have a few spaces in the back. You can see their large dairy tanks from the street. They have about a dozen flavors of ice cream. There's a pretty large display case of cheese with lots of variety. read more

Amazing local creamery. The dairy owner and his cousin manning the store are a delight. We were visiting and the duo waited for us to arrive after closing hours on new year's eve to pickup some last minute gifts. It is a rather unassuming store front, but inside, there are some very interesting aged cow and goat cheeses, lovely ice-creams. We learned that the cow herd is managed using some of the most sophisticated technologies making seriously good cheese. The cheeses and ice cream is delicious and very reasonably priced. A must visit if you are in the area. read more

Love this local deli & ice cream shop! Free cheese tasting and easy-going vibes. Parking is accessible with a private lot and quick jaunt to downtown. Sandwiches are always thick and filling! read more

Great place for a lunch , ice cream and great tasting cheese. I give this place 5 stars and we have visited several times in the past 15 years read more

I've been here many times and can never ever get over the great "home-made, home-grown, hometown" feeling I get whenever I'm here. Granted, there's tons of great places to go just down the street (in Petaluma) but sometimes I just want an awesome tri-tip sandwich and to score some local cheese to bring home. I love the service here, setting, parking, food and lack of pretense. It's just great stuff from great folks in a great town. oh yeah, the great guy behind the counter was awesome. I loved my tri-tip so much I walked back from the car to get an extra tri tip and one chicken sandwich for dinner. I told him this and he packed all the components up separately so the sando wouldnt get soggy! Who does this? Petaluma Creamery does. Go for the cheese, ice cream, stay for sandwiches! read more

Best hometown ice cream in all of Petaluma and well priced too. The service was fast with kind workers and the ambiance was cozy and homey. Definitely I most go again for ice cream and cheese. read more

I wasn't the slightest bit pleased with the ice cream here. I got the Chai flavor that was ok, but I could barely taste the chai tea flavor. The issue wasn't the flavor though. It was more of the texture. Ice cream is supposed to be creamy. This was not creamy. I can't say I've ever had ice cream that tasted "chalky" before. This was a first! The ice cream was off the charts sub-par, the shop was a bit run down and in need of a paint job and fresh decor, and the service wasn't all that good. Definitely will drive right past this next time I'm in town and in the mood for ice cream. This did not hit the spot at all. The shop was unappealing, as was the ice cream.... read more

What do you do on a hot 98 degrees day?! Head to the Petaluma Creamery for ice cream of course! We arrived shortly after noon and browsed their dry goods, drinks and the many cheese options they have. Headed over to the counter and there awaits many ice cream flavors. I got a scoop of strawberry and blueberry swirls. Yummy! It was so creamy and provided some relief from the heat outside. We sat inside by the window to enjoy our treats. I also ordered a BBQ brisket sandwich to go. They have deli and bbq sandwiches. You would pick up a slip and mark all the meats, bread and condiments you would want on there. It takes about 10+ mins for the sandwich to be done but we were enjoying our ice cream so we didn't mind. They also serve coffee and breakfast. We wanted to pick up some cheese to go but it was so hot, we didn't feel comfortable driving it around in the car. Maybe next time. Great service from the young guys working there. Keep up the great work! read more

Fun little place to pick up local cheese. Last time we had their ice cream and it was also very good. I really like their Garlic Jack. Strong and tasty! We bought their giant chocolate chip cookie for $2.50 and it was fine. Has a strong crisco oil flavor to it, so I wouldn't recommend that. read more

Big outside, small inside. I was looking forward to more of a adventure, rather than just an ice cream store inside. Honestly, there's really not that much to do here, except just buy some ice cream or cheese. I ordered a double waffle cone, with chocolate and mint chip. Was really delicious, for about $4. I asked the clerk about tours of the creamery, and he said they discontinued those for health code violations. Not exactly sure what that means. So overall, just an okay experience. If you just want to buy some ice cream or cheese, I think you will be happy. If you're looking for more of an adventure or experience, I think you will be disappointed. read more

Their sandwiches and ice cream alone are worth the drive and the wait! I'd never been before, but knew that this was a stop we had to make if we were going to be up in Petaluma. My only constructive criticism would be to hire more staff on weekends. Understandably, everyone is a bit short-staffed during the pandemic, but they only had one young(er, high school?) employee working the day we visited, and the whole process just took so. long. There were two other parties ahead of us that had also ordered sandwiches, and it took about 30-40 minutes before our order was completed. We had time to wait, but if we were just trying to grab and go, we would have been very disappointed. Ordering custom sandwiches is done through paper slips that you fill out and leave on the counter. They sanitize all of the pens after use and have a Clean and Dirty cup to separate the used/unused pens. As I mentioned, the sandwich and ice cream we ordered were great. The fact that we were still able to scarf down half a sandwich after a full breakfast (that already left us stuffed), is a testament to how delicious their sandwiches were. They were also made very generously with a hefty portion of meat, the other toppings were all fresh as well and we were given large amounts of everything we checked on our slip. For the ice cream, we ordered cookies and cream on a waffle cone. I thought the texture was a bit soft, but my bf LOVED it. He kept raving about how creamy it was and how he'd never had better ice cream. And I have to admit, it's hard for packaged ice cream to taste that creamy and fresh. I would definitely recommend a stop here if you're in Petaluma and looking for a snack or a light meal. Next time, I'm definitely picking up some cheese as well! read more

check the box to experience part of the town's agricultural past. I just got the ice cream, which was a good deal and flavor compared to a pricier one downtown. Friendly service. Make sure you ask if it's one of the homemade flavors - one I asked about wasn't. So it's neat they make some of their own ice cream... there aren't any other claims (I don't think the ingredients are organic, including the milk), but for $4 for my cup (versus $7+ downtown), it was tasty. read more

Needed some cool down while driving from up north and found this little place. So we walk in and just get hit in the face with heat. Usually, you walk in to an ice cream joint and the ambient store temp is like a freezer. Not here. People were visibly complaining. I got me this coconut concoction that was ok, nothing to write home about. It was creamy and not overly sweet, but they didn't have any really original flavors that you couldn't get anywhere else. I probably still prefer Baskin but oh well. Last thing and this was just weird. They had a small display on top of the counter of different waffle cones. I thought it was just for display and I ordered one. The young lady helping me grabbed it from this display and used it for me. While paying, I saw an older gent literally touch the cones (ignoring a sign that says don't touch). Oh man. Do you know how many peeps don't wash their hands after going to the restroom? Move your display! read more

Loved visiting this cute little cheese shop! It was my first time in the area and I think they had a good selection of pre-packaged cheese as well as other food items and ice cream you could order at the counter. I only tried their ice cream but it was tasty! The staff was nice and I also thought it was convenient that they offered some outdoor seating. Next time, I hope to take home some of their cheese! read more

Petaluma Creamery Store - Cookie ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Petaluma, California

This store is from my deep, deep childhood. And all I know is that it has changed. When I was a kid, they sold pads of paper. I still have mine. Not anymore. You have to ask specially to get a tour now - I assume it was much easier then. At most the owner was there when I was last, everyone else is newer. Things change. But I had to find out about the Creamery. So I went in. I purchased cheese. I purchased ice cream. I must say, 4 scoops is a good price for large! The flavors were delicious - mocha or espresso for coffee, some sort of fruit swirl, it's starting to escape me days later but the ice cream was great. The cheese I brought back was good, but I've actually had better 3-year aged cheddar! And the service was fine but the whole thing feels more corporate and less homespun than it was all that time ago. So fine, it's still here, it's local, it's tasty. All the stars go to all of this - but it's just missing that 5th star hook it once had. Bring back the paper! read more

We are just getting to know Petaluma Creamery but are here to report that their ice cream is a solid A+ . When you are looking for some good ice cream Petaluma has two really decent ice cream shops and this is one of them! The ice cream does not disappoint and the service is nice- slow and country paced at times. Feels very family business and owned and is a beautiful little location with benches to sit and a little garden. Our son goes to school nearby so we will be trying more out soon here! read more

Cheese and ice cream in one location....um sign me up! I thoroughly love both and the fact I got to enjoy each other was delightful! I have heard about Petaluma Creamery for ages and have bought their cheese many times from local stores, but never had visited their actual location. Fast forward in time to the chance that I had to do so. Quite a large facility with a small store front, but that did not bother me at all and should in no way cloud your judgement. Once walking in you feel like you stepped back in time about 40 years, very hole in the wall"ish" and I mean that in a good way. I of course made a b-line to the ice cream counter to salivate over the flavors that they offered at an affordable price point. After my family member and I picked out our flavors, we sat down inside to enjoy cappuccino and toffee flavored ice cream at a affordable price point might I add. They may of not been the best ice cream we had, but darn they were good! I will say they gave us ample amount of ice cream versus many other ice cream shops who short you the delicious frozen treat! As for the cheese we browsed, sampled, and picked up a few blocks to take home. Well worth a visit if you have never been and in the area (Outskirts of Petaluma). read more

Not the best ice cream for me but it was ok. Texture of the ice cream was not as smooth and buttery as I would have loved.

Stopped by the Petaluma Creamery after volunteering with a nonprofit in Penngrove yesterday. It's a long store occupying just the first floor with plenty of seating. I've cream and other food items are sold here. Cheese is sold in a refrigerated section over on one end of the place. It looks promising since it's all sourced locally, but I didn't buy one because I don't think I could get through/use up a block of cheese that large! I got a large cup of ice cream ($5) with one scoop of Lavender and a second scoop of Cookies and Cream. The ice cream is thick and creamy, but not overly so. The cookies and cream tasted really well and had a good amount of chunky bits to chew on. The lavender had a very light taste to it. The employee behind the counter was very cordial and helpful when I asked for his opinion of which flavor tasted better. There was a an unusual and slightly offensive (to me) smell when I first entered the store, but I got used to it after a while. I wasn't able to discern where it was coming from. All in all, the ice cream is very refreshing here. It's got a unique flavor that differs from other "big-name" brands like Ben and Jerry's. I'd come back here if I were in the area to try out the other flavors! read more

4/21/2025 went in with friend. Female employee started making her a sandwich, I waited 15-20 minutes. I'd said that I wanted to try a flavor. So, employee comes over and an older woman and 4 teenagers came in. She gave me a sample and then took the older woman's order. I said, I was first, the employee said that she was multitasking. I walked out. I came back in and told her I'd waited 15-20 minutes for her to finish making my friend's sandwich and that I'd told her I wanted to taste a flavor and then she took the woman who just walked in order. I said, that is not multitasking, that is taking people out of order as I'd been waiting. She made some rude comment. OKAY, employee, there is no such thing as multitasking, you switch from project to project. People like to be taken in order. I learned after my taste and the older woman's order, that you hadn't rang my friend up yet so she too was waiting while you were serving other people and she was the 1st person. I was STILL WAITING. I love the Creamery AND you haven't been well trained. 1) Take people in order. 2) Do not launch rude comments to customers. I was a receptionist in a law firm when I was young and we were told, the ONLY thing we didn't have to put up with from clients was them calling us names and swearing at us. So, you're upset, that's life, let it go and be courteous ALWAYS, this is not your investment it is your employer's business on the line. 3) While my friend's sandwich was in the oven, you should have rung her up so that she (and I) could leave as soon as the sandwich was done. 4) Now, take the older woman's order and do the entire process with her until she has paid, then go to the teens. Also, ask for hints for how to make a sandwich faster, maybe weight things out and wrap them loosely and return to refrigeration. I worked in a deli, a cheese store, so I know, get faster. It's a little job but you want a good reputation with your employer, another reason not to spout off at customers because here I am complaining ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEE THAT THEY EMPLOYED (NOT GOOD). I sure hope you read this and take it to heart. Learn from your mistakes and move on! Next time I want ice cream I'll go to Angela's. SOMEDAY I'll go back to the CREAMERY but for now you have lost my business for the CREAMERY. read more

I had been looking forward to trying this place and finally got a chance but I can't believe how sad my $3.50 ice cream cone was. The coconut ice cream was beyond delicious and that's why I gave it three stars but the customer service was not there and I have NEVER gotten such a baby scoop on a cone that's half broken. I was also hoping to pick up cheese but everything was pre packaged and not your typical fresh cheese shop. Decided we were better off buying at Lucky's for a better selection. read more

I just happened to be in the area on weekday when I visited the Petaluma Historical Library and Museum for about 2 hours with special exhibit of Clo the Cow. Moo! It was a warm 75 degree weather and I Yelped for a nearby ice cream place and I found this place. Parking was relative easy, just parked 2 blocks away in quiet neighborhood. It's a big yellow building with seating outside. Inside I didn't expect it to look like a convenience store which didn't bother me. My goal was to get ice cream, but what flavor? I couldn't decide. One of he guys behind counter asked if I wanted to sample anything. I said sure. I liked the interesting Meyer Lemon with mini chunks of real lemon peel inside ice cream. So I order that in a $5 cup and sat at table by the window. I just enjoyed my ice cream to cook off after a warm day. Ice cream flavors are unique and I believe it is made local in Petaluma. There wasn't a strong sour flavor of the Meyer Lemon. It was light lemon flavor more on sweet mild side. There was also blueberry and lavender flavors I noticed too that caught my eye. I noticed a cheese refrigerator behind me and a samples of 2 cheeses on display. One was spicy and the other white cheddar was rather tasty and so I ended up buying it. After reading reviews I guess they make sandwiches here too. After I came in, more people came in for ice cream too. A family came in to get ice cream and ate outside. If you are passing through town, be sure to stop by to support local mom and pop places! :-) read more
